In our latest interview, we grab Dave Dirickson of Psychotiller Electrical Longboard Supply by the beard and make him answer our very important questions.
First we get his origin story along with the origin story of his name. Then we discuss far more important things, like what he did before esk8, as if that matters, and what part of him he would like to be detachable if he could in fact have any part of him be detachable, which is very important.
TL;DR: Dave prefers split PPM over CAN Bus in 4WD rigs because unless you’ve burned up nine VESCs in a single hour you can sit down, shut up, and watch him eat things he finds in his beard.
something i want to do is have a returning guest who is not the primary interviewee show up and be a delightful distraction. But that kind of thing is more geared toward live studio shows, not hangout interviews.
I could get creative and have the hangouts guest displayed on screens mounted to manequin bodies so that the monitor is their face.
Also it looks like hangouts live, which is how i record these, is going away in favor of something google is calling meetings. I don’t know if they’ll work the same way. Recording skype calls is terrible, sending hardware out to people is a serious bottleneck and expensive, so there may be a need for buying some kind of task-specific software or service to continue doing this at some point.
But he isn’t living on the riverbanks of deliverance he isn’t far from Laguna Beach and Irvine. Although there is the big wildlife preserve other the other side.
@psychotiller didn’t have a web cam at all until he realized that one of his old laptops had one. He doesn’t use them for anything. I didn’t either until i started doing this.
Also the reason the image improved on my end is because i was simultaneously recording myself from the same angle as the web cam with a go-pro in narrow FOV. way better light handling than the imac’s cam, however the audio is from the hangouts recording because the go-pro was picking weird shit up. I may wear a lav next time under my shirt.
